Do hard work and sacrifice REALLY pave the road to success? Or is there another way...

Does it feel like your business is taking over your life OR maybe like it has already taken over?
What makes this even worse is that one of your core values is very likely Freedom.
It is probably why you chose to run a business in the first place.
However, with the drive to build your own company you sacrificed a lot.
Your personal needs were likely put on the back-burner and the hard work, persistence and sacrifice has gained you financial rewards.
Yet, you are unfulfilled, stressed, and tired.
The things you value you the most: family, your health, and creating fun and meaningful experiences has taken a back seat and you find yourself in a position you have realized this.
The challenge is the solution to your problem is tied to an illusion that most entrepreneurs share: "hard work and sacrifice pave the road to success."
What if this were not completely true?
What if building more “grit” and pushing harder and longer to break through was a lie?
My name is Chris Yonker and I enter the lives of my clients when they realize they are at this crossroads.
They realize something has to change. They know that they cannot get to where they want to go traversing the same path the same way, and they are fed up.
You probably already know that working harder is not your answer and I'd like to share a story to build perspective.
The clients I work with create and experience a new reality and here's an example:
Robert had a successful business and was able to pay himself 7 figures a year from it.
From the outside you would have said Robert had the “world by the balls”.
Yet, Robert had very little peace in his life.
His wife was sick and tired of getting Robert’s “left-overs”.
She got the last of his time, energy, and attention because he dedicated most of it to his business.
On top of that, Robert was not able to spend the time with his kids he had hoped.
Lastly, Robert had gained weight and looked 5-10 years older than his chronological age .
Robert and I worked together to create a new reality for him and within 12 months Robert reduced his work hours by 50% and tripled his time off.
He also lost 15 pounds, lowered his blood pressure, built weekly date nights with his spouse AND he did ALL OF THIS WHILE HE INCREASED HIS INCOME.
If you're open to creating and experiencing a new reality more like Robert's then let's connect.
